Amazing photos!
I have a Canon DSLR but my 35mm is a Nikon SLR.
Will be using a tracking mount to begin with and my Z61 telescope. I will get focus as you said with my DSLR then swap it out.
I have some Kodak and Fuji colour films I purchased to give a go. In my black and white stock I have HP5+, Delta FP4+ and Delta 3200.

Do you have a Nikon DSLR ? The spacing will be the same for the DSLR and the film SLR so you can focus using the digital camera, lock the focus and swap the bodies over.
For a tracking mount, you want film with the lowest reciprocity failure and at the moment, Fuji rules. Acros, Provia or Superia depending on what you want. For fixed tripod, you want as fast (ISO) as you can get (and tolerate the grain).
Ilford Delta 400 doesn't look too bad and it sees H-alpha (which most b/w films don't very well) but I haven't been able to find any to try. I've been using HP5+.
